- to the Menshevik Internationalists the Socialist Revolutionaries (SRs) the Jewish Bundists & the anarchists It prioritises Factory Committees local Soviets the Womens' Zhenotdel movement Proletkult & the Kronstadt sailors as much as the statements & actions of Lenin & Trotsky Using the neglected writings & memoirs of Mensheviks like Julius Martov SRs like Victor Chernov Bolshevik oppositionists like Alexandra Kollontai & anarchists like Nestor Makhno it traces a revolution gone wrong & suggests how it might have produced a more libertarian emancipatory socialism than that created by Lenin & the Bolsheviks The book broadly covers the period from 1903 (the formation of the Bolsheviks & Mensheviks) to 1921 (the suppression of the Kronstadt rebellion) & explains why the Bolshevik Revolution degenerated so quickly into its apparent opposite & continually examines the Leninist experiment through the lens of a 21st century de-centralised ecological anti-productivist & feminist socialism Throughout its narrative it interweaves & draws parallels with contemporary anti-capitalist struggles such as those of the Zapatistas the Kurds the Argentinean " Recovered Factories" Occupy the Arab Spring the Indignados & Intersectional feminists attempting to open up the past to the present & points in between We do not need another standard history of the Russian Revolution This is not one
